The warning light that comes on when the parking brake is engaged is usually the same one that indicates low brake fluid. If that light is staying on it could either indicate that your brake fluid is low or the parking brake is not fully releasing even if the lever is down all the way.

Before you fill that master cylinder check your brake pads. You probably also need new brakes.

Good advice. As the brake pads wear the fluid level will drop so that may be why it is down.
